Top Mariposa Drug and Alcohol Addiction Centers

Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in Mariposa, CA

Mariposa sits in the Sierra foothills at around 2,000 feet, the seat of Mariposa County and the last town of any size before Yosemite.

John C. Frémont held the Las Mariposas land grant here and the gold found on it in 1849 made him briefly one of the richest men in America; the 1854 courthouse is the oldest still in use west of the Rockies.

The county has no incorporated cities and around 17,000 residents. The 2022 Oak Fire burned close to the town, and Yosemite tourism dominates the local economy.

Highway 140 runs east to Yosemite Valley in around 90 minutes and west to Merced in an hour.

California recorded a drug overdose death rate roughly 6 percent below the national figure in 2024.

Methamphetamine was involved in around 57 percent of California overdose deaths that year, more than any other substance, while fentanyl drives the opioid share.

County rates in 2024 ranged from 11.3 per 100,000 in Napa County to 91.5 in Lake County, both in Northern California.

Mariposa County participates in the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System, live since July 2023, which covers a full continuum of care assessed against American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria.

Which Level of Care Do You Need

The counts below reflect the 1 Mariposa facility listed in this directory.

Medically Supervised Detox

Detox manages withdrawal under clinical observation, usually across several days, and is where treatment begins for anyone physically dependent on alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines. The Mariposa facility does not offer detox, and there is none in Mariposa County. Merced has one around an hour west and Fresno four 90 minutes south-west.

Inpatient Residential Treatment

Residential care provides a structured live-in setting for weeks or months. The Mariposa facility does not offer it. Atwater has one around 75 minutes west and Clovis two 90 minutes south.

Outpatient, IOP and PHP Treatment

Outpatient care lets you live at home while attending sessions. The Mariposa facility offers outpatient services and IOP with telehealth. Having IOP in a foothill county this small means a step-down is possible without an hour’s drive each way. It does not offer PHP.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment

Dual diagnosis care treats a substance use disorder and a mental health condition together rather than in sequence. The Mariposa facility indicates it treats co-occurring disorders, which given it is the only provision in the county matters considerably.

Sober Living Homes and Transitional Living

Sober living homes provide drug-free housing after formal treatment ends. This directory does not list recovery residences separately. The California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals certifies residences statewide.

Addiction Treatment Cost and Insurance Coverage

The single facility here accepts Medi-Cal, Medicare and TRICARE alike.

How Much Does Addiction Rehab Cost in Mariposa

Mariposa joined DMC-ODS in July 2023, and having local IOP on Medi-Cal in a county with no incorporated cities is more than most rural counties manage.

Does Insurance Cover Rehab in Mariposa

Medi-Cal carries no premium and no copay for substance use treatment. If you are uninsured, an eligibility check costs nothing.

Free and State-Funded Addiction Rehab in Mariposa, CA

Publicly funded care is available locally, including IOP.

The listed facility accepts Medi-Cal, and an eligibility check costs nothing.

Mariposa County’s DMC-ODS access line assesses and refers to an appropriate level of care at no charge.

The California Naloxone Distribution Project supplies naloxone free to community organizations, and Never Use Alone on 800-484-3731 stays on the line with people using alone.

More Help and Recovery Support

John C. Fremont Healthcare District serves the county. There is no trauma center; serious cases go to Modesto or Fresno, each around 90 minutes away, and mountain roads can lengthen that.

Alcoholics Anonymous meets in Mariposa and the surrounding foothill communities. Narcotics Anonymous operates through the Central California region. Given the distances and local telehealth, online options are worth having identified in advance. Adjacent Merced, Oakhurst and Sonora carry further options.
